Can NHibernate persist to flat files instead of database?

Here is a curiousity question. I have an application that must support both flat files and the database as a place to persist data. I was thinking maybe using a .csv or tab-delimited set of files as input ...

Is it possible to use NHibernate to write to do both persistance tasks?

From stackoverflow
  • No not to the best of my knowledge. I have the same requirement and have ended up just using flat XML files and hand rolling all the CRUD.

    Just today I did happen to notice this File System Database on codeplex but haven't looked into it properly yet.

  • Try using the Jet engine (see this)

    Dialect and other nhibernate settings should be the ones for Microsoft Access.
